why can't
we be

two midnight lovers
sharing kisses
in the safeness
of the night?

saying silent
I love you's
with our eyes
so no one
will hear?

holding hands
while walking away
until
our fingers
brush for
one last time?

why

can't we be
midnight lovers?

The asphalt
underneath me
glistens from
the rain

The rain
splashes
my uncovered
thighs and arms

And the
fresh air
makes me
feel alive

She is
like the sun

Often
beaming
but
mostly alone

I am
like the moon

Hiding in
the shadows
but
surrounded
by many

So tell me,
could an
us
work?

sometimes
what I dream
comes true

but tell me,
will the dreams
of you
too?

It’s not
that I am
not interested
in boys
anymore

It’s just
that I
compare
every boy
that catches
my attention
to you

And they
don’t stand
even the
slightest chance
